A University of Virginia student from Suffolk who served last year as president of the school's Student Council has been charged with forgery and embezzlement of $300 in council funds.
U.Va. police on Wednesday arrested Anne E. Bailey, a fourth-year College of Arts and Sciences student. She was released her on personal recognizance bond.
Police allege that Bailey, 21, illegally withdrew the money from an account at Jefferson National Bank in Charlottesville on May 4.
The account belonged to the Student Council. To withdraw the money, police say, Bailey signed her own name and the name of last year's council treasurer on a check.
The money was discovered missing from the account during a routine audit, Capt. Bill Morris said.
``There were discrepancies and they eventually contacted the police department and an investigation was done,'' Morris said.
Bailey, who lives on the Lawn on the university grounds, said, ``I look forward to the day my name is cleared.''
She is scheduled to appear in Charlottesville General District Court on Sept. 22 on the forgery charge. She is to appear in Albemarle County General District Court on Sept. 27 on the embezzlement charge.
